As we complete reading Paul's letter to the Romans we note his point that “whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.” [15 v.4] “The Scriptures” are, of course, the Old Testament. Paul wanted the Gentile Christian converts in Rome to realize these Jewish scrolls are now for them as well. Those who claim to follow Christ today need to realize this too – many think they only need the New Testament, or at most, only the Psalms and Proverbs. One particular reason that Paul gives is the examples of “endurance” in the service of God will give them encouragement and hope. He writes, ”may the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another …” [v.5] When the world around us is godless and falling apart because there is no unifying spirit of faith and vision, it is more important than ever for true believers to be in harmony and to be a source of strength to each other. How desperate the situation of Jeremiah is becoming! His faith is now undergoing greater tests. We read today how “the priests and the (false) prophets said … ‘This man deserves the sentence of death because he has prophesied against this city …” [26 v,11] Jeremiah is an outstanding example of endurance for us. In our 2 Samuel 23 reading we have “the last words of David … the sweet psalmist of Israel” [v.1]. He says, “The Spirit of the LORD speaks by me; his word is on my tongue. [v.2] What words we have in his and other Psalms to give us “encouragement” in order to endure. Although not tested at present as Jeremiah was; we know a few that are which we must remember in prayer, but we must not turn to prayer as a last resort as the final king in Jerusalem did, sending to Jeremiah an urgent message “Please pray for us to the LORD ..” [37 v.3], but it was too late. Returning to our chapter in Romans we notice how Paul selects 4 different quotations from the Old Testament (v.9 to 12) which all relate to what was written under God's inspiration about the involvement of the Gentiles. The time had now arrived for them to “glorify God for his mercy.” [v.9] Paul had been previously blind to the significance of these Scriptures. Let us not be blind “to whatever was written in former days” – for as this world becomes even more unstable we will need all the encouragement and spiritual strength the Scriptures provide – remember Jesus said, “the one who endures to the end will be saved.” [Matt. 24 v.13]
We look into the depths of God's faithfulness in the past, His promises of the future, and how they inspire endurance and perseverance in the present. Join us as we explore how embracing God's character and promises promotes perseverance within us, enabling us to face trials with unwavering resolve.
Hebrews 10:32 But recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings, 33 sometimes being publicly exposed to reproach and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated. 34 For you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one. 35 Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. 36 For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised. 37 For, “Yet a little while, and the coming one will come and will not delay; 38 but my righteous one shall live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.” 39 But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.

The Thirty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time ALL SAINTS' SUNDAY
In Hebrews 10:32-39, the author exhorts the people to remain faithful to Christ. He does this by reminding the Hebrew Christians of all they have been through, how they joyfully accepted the plundering of their property and were not ashamed to stand by those who were persecuted. The author uses this as a basis for exhorting them to continue to persevere in the faith. Remembering how God enabled you to remain faithful in the past can be an encouragement to remain faithful in the present.

God ordained the Ages to be patterned on Creation Week, so that: 'One Day with the Lord = 1000 years' (Ps 90:4, 2Pet 3:8), with the Millennium as the Sabbath (Rev 20). This is illustrated by the Passover Lamb, Hosea 6, & Good Samaritan. Finally: the key distinction between Israel & the Church.

Former Days of our Lives head writer Sheri Anderson, who is credited with creating some of the most memorable storylines and supercouples on American daytime television, including Luke and Laura, Bo and Hope, John and Marlena, and Patch and Kayla, says soap operas are about pure entertainment, not voyeurism. "The fact that reality TV is largely staged makes it even sadder,” Anderson said. “Like watching a 'snuff' film and knowing that someone is going to truly be ridiculed, injured or even die -- yet viewers still watch -- is heartbreaking." Anderson will comment on why she believes reality TV is to blame for the demise of soap operas, the future of soap operas and what daytime dramas need to do to survive, and what keeps Days of our Lives successful and her thoughts on the soap’s Sept. 26th relaunch. Anderson is the author of the Salem’s Secrets, Scandals, and Lies fiction book series, which provides alternative and extended stories featuring beloved characters from Days of our Lives.
